As we wait with baited breath for news on what the newest member of the royal family will be called, Kensington Palace has shared an update on the royal wedding.

It has been confirmed that Prince William will act as best man for Prince Harry next month. Harry is set to marry Meghan Markle in Windsor on 19 May with his older brother by his side, the palace wrote in a series of tweets.

The palace noted that Harry performed best man duties for Will back in 2011 when he married Kate Middleton in 2011. "The Duke of Cambridge is honoured to have been asked, and is very much looking forward to supporting his brother at St George's Chapel, Windsor on May 19th." The whole announcement is very sweet - but the best part of all is this candid family snap of the boys as children. Ah lads. With Harry formerly being known as the "party prince" we can only imagine what he's expecting from Will for the stag...
